The correct answer is D. Porifera

Explanation

Porifera or sponges is a phylum that includes all simple primitive aquatic animals, distinguished by having a body full of channels and pores through which water flows. Sponges are formed by sets of cells that arrange in spicules which provide sponges a structure and spongin which is a protein. Additionally, sponges lack organs and are asymmetrical which means they have an irregular shape. Moreover, they stand out for having a great diversity of color and their sizes are varied from a few millimeters to more than 2 m high. So, the correct answer is D. Porifera.

Emulsion of fatty acids is necessary to _____.
kap26 [50]

Answer:

c. increase the surface area available for hydrolysis by lipase

Explanation:

Emulsification of fats(fatty acid) is a chemical reaction where large molecules(globules) of fats are broken down into a smaller molecules (droplets) by the action of an emulsifier.

In the human body, emulsification takes places in the duodenum during the process of digestion of fats. When large fat molecules have been broken down into smaller fat molecules by action of an emulsifier called bile salts from the gall bladder, a larger surface area is created which makes it possible for the enzyme lipase from the pancreas to react with or act on fat molecules through the process of hydrolysis thereby converting the fats to fatty acids and glycerol for use by the body.
